  • No pending authority revocation.
  • Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.

  • Satisfactory safety rating.

  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.

  • FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2000-06-19 (C).
  • Crash Indicator and Hazmat Compliance BASICs are statutorily withheld from public SMS under the FAST Act — their absence is not a clean record; use the crash-risk signals above instead.
